Thanks for Meijo, we had wonderful time during the safari trip. The guide Helman was ver knowledgeable, he knows all the animals we saw. And we had the luck to see all big fives and ugly fives.

Superb in every way
All accommodations were of an excellent standard and located in beautiful locations. Both drivers/guides were very experienced and also pleasant personalities Furthermore, everything was arranged down to the last detail, such as the transfers from the airports to the hotels, the chimpansee and gorilla-trackings, the safaris, etc. There was nothing to complain about.

Worst , liar and asking money for fuel
I had worst and terrible experience with Mashack tour operator and guide. He is the liar and not trustworthy. He did not pick up at the airport and I was stuck in the middle of night outside of airport. He switch off his phone. They invite new clients to join groups to earn more money. Unnecessary drop off and pick up new clients waste time which impact a lot in game drive. They lied and asking money for fuel. I advise not to go with Mashack tour operator.

The hosts are very knowledgeable about the area and are well connected with other tour operators.
The lodge is basic but quiet and comfy and has all the necessities to use as a base. The hosts arranged everything for us and went out of their way to accommodate our wants. This was especially welcomed as we had not pre-arranged anything.
We did two half day local game drives, Vic Falls, river rafting, and 4 day safari in Kafue national park.
Our host, Daniel, was also our guide and driver on safari and was very knowledgeable and had very experienced eyes. We were given ample time to take pictures and enjoy the beautiful country of Zambia.
Much respect

Amazing Tour Company!
I honestly cannot say enough wonderful things about Crafted Africa. They made our Malawian family vacation absolutely wonderful and relaxing and perfect. I lived in Malawi 30 years ago as a young volunteer, and this summer I returned with my husband and two sons to share the beauty of the country with them. I thought about doing a self-drive tour to save money ... but I am SO glad I decided to let Crafted Africa do the bookings and arrange for the car and driver. Our driver, Eddie, was just such a great guide and driver and person that I can't imagine having done the trip without him. He was so helpful and friendly and generous and knowledgable. He knew all about the country and the flora and fauna. He elevated our entire experience from the moment he picked us up at the airport. Our flight had arrived late and our luggage was delayed, so when we left the airport we were tired. He was there to greet us warmly with a beautiful clean vehicle filled with snacks and treats and bottles of South African wine. He made us feel instantly relaxed and safe and cared for. Our entire trip went flawlessly. Everything was beautifully arranged and Eddie was like our fixer, helping us with any issue or question or request. He knew which roads were closed due to maintenance or flooding, he was always prepared with suggestions to help us have the perfect vacation experience, he knew lots of people around the country - including police officers as road stops - that always helped us to avoid any hassles or issues. My whole family was SO SAD we couldn't bring him with us to Tanzania for the second half of our holiday. I had thought that our time in Malawi would be harder than our time in Tanzania - because it's less of a popular tourist destination - but it was the other way around. I am SO glad that Crafted Africa helped me with the trip arrangements. Sure it cost a bit more than doing it myself, but it was SO worth it! I can't recommend them, and Eddie, highly enough!!!!

Came to see animals, found a friend.
We booked a 3 days tour with montain warriors and everything went smooth as silk.
We were a little bit frustrated since the flight company changed our flight without notice and we were scared about not having time to see all animals. Was time too short for seeing all animals? Maybe... Was this a problem? Definitely not. Why? Because at the airport one guy picked us up and from that moment and forward we've been in his awesome hands. His name is Simon and he introduced us to this amazing experience. He told us facts about the national parks and then we started the journey. What a journey! He knew that our time was very short and he did everything possible to make our experience unforgettable. He proposed us to wake up very early (allowing us to have breakfast with stunning views, probably the best of our lives), and he drove on and on seeking for animals.
It seemed like he knew where all the animals would have been and drove to them, allowing us to take stunning pictures and videos to animals crossing the road right in front of us. He has so much experience in this job and this allows him to anticipate every single move of the animals, being in the right place at the right time. Having lunches and dinners with him allowed us to know many stories about tribes and so on. But, most importantly he told us about his life and we did it too, allowing ourselves to discover different cultures.
If we knew how good he would have been, we would have asked for Saimon when booking. If you are reading this, you definitely should.
All the accomodations were very good, allowing the customers to sleep inside one of the best national parks. Amazing quality of food even in the middle of nowhere.
This experience can change your life if you're lucky enough to meet a driver that puts passion in his work and cares about making 3 days the best days of your life.
Well done Saimon (also mountain warriors), hope to see you again one day.

Great Experience
We travelled as a group of 6: 3 couples, with Frena Adventures from Kigali (Rwanda) to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest to hike with the Endangered Mountain Gorillas, where we also did a Batwa Village Cultural Visit. The experience was second to none. The next day, we travelled to Volcanoes National Park to see the Golden Monkeys. Again, exceptional (though, after the gorillas a bit vanilla 😉) Ronald, our driver and guide was friendly, a good driver, knowledgeable and very helpful. The mini-bus he drove was comfortable and clean. The accomodations (mid-range) were great, as were all the meal inclusions and endless bottled water provided. Would warmly recommend Frena Adventures

Exceptional Family Vacation in the Mother City with Cape Town Tours! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Our family vacation in Cape Town, arranged by Cape Town Tours, was nothing short of spectacular! From the moment we made our initial inquiry, their team exhibited exceptional professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail.

Professional, competent, knowledgeable, answered all questions appropriately. Highly recommend!
Excellent service. Picked us up at our home, provided us with good quality sweatshirts with company logo, unexpected treat! Tour guide, Stone was phenomenal! Very knowledgeable, personable and funny. We stayed in a 5-star “glamping” tent with all amenities of home that had a man-made watering hole just outside where elephants and zebra came. Meals were included that were excellent and served by friendly, professional wait staff. The safari was top notch! Our guide Stone, made sure we saw as many animals as possible, allowed for us to take our time watching/taking photos, enjoying scenery. Also, took us took us to a tribal village. Highly, highly recommend this safari tour. Experience of a lifetime!
